The Last Chance

The second audio assignment I chose to do was Sound Effects Story, which is 3.5 stars. For this assignment I had to tell a story using nothing but sound effects. I could not use verbal communication, and I had to use at least five different sounds that I found online. Lastly, the story could not be longer than 90 seconds. So what I did was I came up with a story idea and then headed over to freesound to find the clips I thought would be most useful in telling the story I wanted to to tell. Once I found the clips ...

Let me be honest here: I was dreading this sound effects story after that bumper. I was thinking it would take me hours of drawing out the sounds, finding the right layering, getting the right effects. UGH. Finally I decided I just need to start thinking about what I want to do. I listened to a few examples from the assignment bank and got some ideas. Then I spent a few minutes with my eyes closed as I tried to think of a memory that is mostly sounds. After lots of “Oh I can’t do that without someone speaking,” I ...

A 3-star assignment of Audio Dream Stories: This is a variation off of AudioAssignments70: Sound Effects Story, except the main goal of this assignment is to create a story using only sounds (no words) found on the Internet that tells the story of a dream using audio. Restrictions: use only sounds from freesound.org and a max of 2 minutes. Please remember to credit those who you have sampled. Also, please refrain from having 6+ “layers” in a dream. We all know from watching Inception that by that time, you’re way beyond the normal dreaming mind constructs and into the subconscious. ...
I think I just made a bumper… woot woot

AHHHHH! Okay, so I’m way excited!! One of the most difficult assigments in week 4 for ds106 was to make a bumper. I know, I didn’t know what it was either but a little research goes a long way. So basically a bumper is a small introduction that many radio stations have. It basically plays cool music and you say the name of the radio station. I used SoundCloud and FreeSound to make my amazingness happen. For my bumper I decided to use the introduction to a Buckcherry Broken Glass Song, and said “Y0u’re listening to ds106 radio.” It sounds kinda boring ...

Okay, this assignment started off to be a pain in my ass (excuse my language) but I managed to fight through it and learn to love Audacity. I’ve never used it before but had a BLAST making this clip. I started out with about fifteen different types of clips from Freesound, but narrowed my selection down and found the right ones to use for my clip. I managed to make it 1:30 and I think it sounds really really cool! Definitely a lot of tension but check it out! When I first opened up Audacity, I had no idea what ...
